Clearing the mines will take 6 months/ vessels leaving the strait and returning to reload 2-3 months/ restart of production from the Middle East in some countries to prewar levels may require another 3 months. The war started in a second but the consequences will linger on much longer. #OOTT

The future trajectory of American policy in the Middle East now depends on whether Trump gets dragged away from his UFC birthday party to attend a Situation Room meeting about this tonight
Trump: "This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened."

So Iran is not handing over its uranium, is "promising" to not acquire a nuclear bomb, and is getting $25 billion in its assets unfrozen and the oil sanctions lifted. Why did we go to war again?
Reported terms of the MOU between Iran and the U.S. In the short term Iran will get $25 billion in financial unlocks in exchange for mutual lifting of the blockades:

Kuwait is offering to sell its crude to refiners in Asia for the first time since the Iran war started. Another key sign that more Middle Eastern crude is flowing “dark” via the Strait of Hormuz by tanker (on top of what’s moved via bypass pipelines) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Trump's polling is at or near all-time lows, including in an area that has long been his superpower: handling of the economy. Republicans are sounding the alarm, while White House officials are downplaying it & saying things will improve after the Iran war. (Story in reply.)

Here is a great piece about why oil hasn't surged to $200 yet. But also, this is a good reminder of one of Trump's most consistent rhetorical techniques. I don't recall anyone saying $300, but in this frame, $96 looks even more impressive bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
Fans will be prohibited from hosting watch parties outside Madison Square Garden or bringing bags into the venue during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, as MSG, the U.S. Secret Service and New York Police ramp up security measures with President Donald Trump planning to attend the game Monday night.

🚨Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said 🚨Why it matters: Iran threatened last week to launch a missile attack against Israel if it attacks Beirut. Such a move could unravel U.S.–Iran negotiations and reignite the war axios.com/2026/06/07/israel-…
